I had the original technium' 10k's and bought the original basis the day they came out but took them back three days later as one had sized up and the other two were grating and hard to turn. This was caused by me setting up with them about ten inches off the ground on a sand pit and when it rained sand got into them. Got my money back and have had a few sets of reels since Inc Tec mgs,iso etc but recently sold off most of my carp gear and only kept a pair of original 20k's and a pair of chimera's. Been considering a light set of rods and reels for the rovers and small estate lakes but nothing modern interests me except maybe the 11ft torrix .

I have an original set of the ISO's superb reel and I think personally the best reel Daiwa have made, still got a set of the original Basia again think they are great, had the Basiar didn't get on with them felt cheap! Had the Shimano Black mags again not for me i also have a set of the 10000XT original Blue ones and these are superb also use these the most as on my 13ft rods, I think a lot of the original reels where better made, if I had to pick one the ISO's just edge's it 👍

Bail arms are single, solid bits of thin metal which felt really flimsy to me. Some daiwa reels have hollow bail arms which are much stronger. I'm surprised these they don't have them. Feel good to me otherwise
